Kia has announced that it will be issuing recalls over fire concerns on certain models.  Models that do not have fire concerns can be purchased from Nissan Dealer Lake Havasu and other dealerships.  Kia will be recalling its Soul and Sorento vehicles to fix a problem with interior lighting panels that may lead to fires.  Ford Dealer Lancaster dealerships sell Ford models that so far do not have similar problems and are rated high in initial vehicle quality.  Kia will be recalling around 35,000 Soul and Sorento models, with 24,000 Soul vehicles being recalled from the 2010 model year and 11,000 Sorento vehicles being recalled from the 2011 model year.

Lincoln Mercury Dealer Orange County dealerships also sell high quality luxury Lincoln and Mercury vehicle models that are high quality and free from defects as well.  The problem is concerning the wiring in the Kia Soul’s speaker lights which are standard on the Soul Exclaim and the Soul Sport but not including on the Soul Plus except as an optional add-on.  The optional accent lighting on the front and rear door trim may also be soldered incorrectly and thus be a hazard.

The Kia Soul and Sorento models are popular vehicles that have been selling well throughout the world.  The Kia Soul is made by Kia which combines with Hyundai to be the fifth largest automaker in the world.  The Kia Soul and Sorento feature the latest Kia features and add-ons and is one of the top vehicle models on the market.  The Soul is a compact MPV that features excellent safety ratings and high fuel efficiency.  The Sorento is a mid-size crossover SUV that is also fuel efficient and has excellent safety ratings.

Owners of these models will be notified this month.  The NTHSA can be contacted if you or someone you know owns an affected model and Kia also set up a hotline at 1-800-333-4541.  The NTHSA’s number is 1-888-327-4236 for contact information.
